HAVING THE RIGHT ATTITUDE AND DISCIPLINE

THE CHOSEN DAILY DEVOTIONAL

DATE: Friday 19th June, 2020.
TOPIC: HAVING THE RIGHT ATTITUDE AND DISCIPLINE
TEXT:1  SAMUEL 16

MESSAGE
Having the right attitude and discipline are the criteria to become great and remain at the top. We as believers are required to put our best attitude in everything we are assigned to do whether it is divine, self,public or civil.Attitude is simply the state of your mind that controls your physical disposition while discipline is a state of order based on the submission to authority or simply put self-control or enforced control. Divine favour and providence located David who had these two vital qualities and took him from pasture to the throne of kingship. 



It happened without struggle. He was anointed and preferred above his brother without special or any recommendation from men. If it were to be human selection or rating by human standard, David would have had the least count or vote. Is it not absurd that among all the sons of Jesse presented to Samuel, none was accepted except the young ruddy lad who was in the Bush tending the father's sheep? Our text in verse 11 says "And Samuel said unto Jesse, are here thy children, and he said there remaineth yet the youngest, and behold he keepth the sheep. And Samuel said unto Jesse, send and fetch him, for we will not sit down till he come hither." Beloved, did you see discipline, commitment and the right attitude in the statement of the father? Your work may not be recognized but it is always on the good record of God. Divine Providence and favour shall locate you in this season in Jesus name. Amen. Have a joyous week ahead

PRAYER POINTS: 
START WITH PRAISE & WORSHIP..
1. Thank God for a new day
2.  Pray for forgiveness wherever you shield away or abandoned your responsibity.
3. Ask heaven to favour you.
4.  Pray that no man will take the crown and the glory that God had given you

Don’t Look Back!

Don’t Look Back! Luke 9:62 – And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God. Have you answered the call to serve God as His son and daughter? Have you totally chosen Jehovah as your God? Have you decided to leave your old ways and cleave unto God? If yes! Beloved I congratulate you. But hope you took the cost of your choice?? [Please refer to yesterday’s sermon] God doesn’t want us to look back when we have answered the call, why? This is because of the following: Firstly, it brings shame to the body of Christ and makes people to despise Christ. Looking back is to be lukewarm and to depart from the first love! [Revelation 2:4, Revelation 3:16] Secondly, looking back makes the believer to suffer backwardness spiritually and physical. The faith of the believer suffers and takes a longer time to be rebuilt. [Hebrews 6:4]. Thirdly, looking back will make the person not to complete whatever he or she has started. This is w...

Heart Not Garment - 2

"Rend your heart, and not your garments." --Joel 2:13 Apart from vital godliness all religion is utterly vain; offered without a sincere heart, every form of worship is a solemn sham and an impudent mockery of the majesty of heaven. HEART-RENDING is divinely wrought and solemnly felt. It is a secret grief which is personally experienced, not in mere form, but as a deep, soul-moving work of the Holy Spirit upon the inmost heart of each believer. It is not a matter to be merely talked of and believed in, but keenly and sensitively felt in every living child of the living God. It is powerfully humiliating, and completely sin-purging; but then it is sweetly preparative for those gracious consolations which proud un-humbled spirits are unable to receive; and it is distinctly discriminating, for it belongs to the elect of God, and to them alone.

Faulty Covenant

Faulty Covenant Hebrews 8:7 [7] For if that first covenant had been faultless, then should no place have been sought for the second. Covenant as a strong bound that is not easily broken can be faulty. The covenant made betwixt God and the Israelites was a faulty covenant in this time of Grace but perfect in it's time. The covenant wasn't to lead sinner's unto Christ's but it was to lead them unto their destructive end quickly. The old covenant was a period of darkness and pains (because it was more by works and not by grace) but thanks to God who invalidated the old covenant and gave us the covenant of Grace where Jesus is the mediator no longer Moses. God spoken of the new covenant long ago in Jeremiah 31:31; it was manifested in Christ. This new covenant brings light to the soul. Every covenant that do not bring light to your life, be destroyed now by fire! Whatever makes you to live by work and not by grace be destroyed! For God's name sake, let everyt...
